Webmaster mailbox (kH 1)

When is a Webmaster mailbox needed?
If you use a sending email address outside of your domain, you’ll need to check the webmaster@ mailbox for bounce messages. If you have email sending software that does automatic bounce monitoring, the webmaster mailbox will need to be checked for bounces.
Note: Ensure that the webmaster mailbox is checked regularly or else the accumulation of mail can lead to disk over–usage.
Alternatively, the webmaster mailbox can be replaced with a webmaster alias, which will forward webmaster@ mails to the mailbox of your choice.
